Skirts, daring, sexy, or both?

I was sitting here reading what people have to say about skirts and underwear. As I sat here wondering why skirts and dresses are such a big deal in out culture a thought came to me. I think that it has to do with sex! I’m serious, I really think that it’s a sexual thing!

Skirts and dresses are sexy because they are daring. The shorter the skirt or dress, the more daring you have to be to wear one and the more careful you have to be of not flashing anything you don't want people to see. It's like a “teasing game” that girls and guys play. Both sides know the game well and love to play it.

We are always trying not to show anything (at least not too much) and guys are always trying to look up our skirts and dresses in the hope that they'll get a little peek. May be I should have said “people” instead of only “guys.” Because I’ve seen a lot girls trying to look up other girl’s skirt. I admit of doing it myself. Yes, we girls do it too, but unlike guys, we don’t go out of our way to do it. If we happen to be at the right place at the right time, we look. I once sat at the bottom of an escalator at the mall looking at people go up. Whenever there was a girl with a mini going up the escalator, guys were not the only ones looking, girls did too. But I think that both sexes do it for different reasons. For us girls, it’s more out of curiosity to see what she is (or not) wearing underneath, and to see if she’s going to do the big “social no no” of showing in public what should remain private. For guys is different, for guys is a lot more of a sexual thing.

Either way, I find it interesting how we think that we can tell how sluty a girl is. I was once on an escalator at a hospital and there was a girl going up the escalator. She was wearing a pretty short mini and from where I was, you could see everything. I could clearly see that she was wearing a white lace thong. In front of me, there were an older lady (40’s) and two younger girls (like in their early 20’s). All of them were looking at her and making negative remarks about her. “Oh, what is wrong with that women? She must know that she’s showing everything to the world” the lady said. “May be she doesn’t know or may be she likes to show her stuff off” said one the younger ones. “Either way I don’t care, she’s a slut” said the other. “I think so too, ‘cause how can you wear a short skirt like that and not cover yourself when you go up stairs. She gotta know what she‘s doing and is doing on purpose” said the lady. “May be she’s a sluty gold digger looking for a rich doctor?" They went on and on and on all the way up. That really bothered me, because they don’t know her. We were at a hospital, may be she was absentminded thinking and worrying about someone who was really sick or even dieing. So the last thing in her mind was to cover up so that she wouldn’t show her underwear and butt crack to the world.

I don’t know exactly why I wrote all that story. But anyway, going back to the subject, I know that us girls know, at least in the back of our minds, the "dangers" of wearing skirts and dresses. We know that accidents (wind blowing up our skirt or other accidental flashing) can and do happen and that sooner or later it may happen to us. In the back of our minds, we know that when we put on a mini and walk out the house, we are now part of the great “peeking game.” It's the "danger" of showing what our moms and society have told us since we were little girls not to do, and that is to never flash our panties in public, that makes the game so daring. And feeling daring makes us feel sexy and gives short skirts and dresses a special place in our culture and wardrobe. That’s why wearing thongs or even nothing under with a skirt or dress feels even sexier than just wearing regular panties! So in conclusion, daring feelings equals sexy feeling!

That's what I think and I just wanted to share that with you. Why? I don't know, may be I didn't have anything else to do. I wanted to write a little and wrote a lot...sorry! So what do you think?

I think that it's "all of the above"!As a male cd,I know how much different and sexier I feel ,when I'm in a skirt or dress,as opposed to just a pair of jeans or slacks.When you put on your favorite dress,or skirt,blouse and high heels,you know all too well ,the risk you face,with the wind blowing you up,or guys trying to sneak a peek,but,you do it anyway,because of the benefit,of how good it makes you feel.When you have achieved that level and feeling of confidence,one-because you know that you look good,and two-because you see that you're turning heads and drawing attention,then all of the little setbacks just seem to fade away.

Yes it is a sort of game and when you show what you got the guys have won a few points. It's just great to watch them watching you, say, when you go to sit down. You got a mini and when you go up to the chair and you put your feet together they all turn, their eyes are popping. If you can keep covered then you've won. And we look at each other. It's natural. My friend sat opposite me. She had a jeans mini and she had nt crossed. I could nt looking to see the colour, style and i felt a bit superior because i had covered but also a bit annoyed because she should know better. The stairs thing is dificult. If you got a hand free then you can just hold your skirt. We usually do, but you dont want to be too obvious really. I dont know why, it sort of draws attention. Its definitely a sex thing. My b/f sometimes wants to talk about when i wear a skirt, my moves and that sort of thing. Well it certainly keeps them interested!

hey girls is it true that when you look at another girl you often compare youself to them lookswise and if so do you think this is a competitive thing?

That is a very article. Here is my take on it. I too wear a skirt almost every day. Even in winter in snow... Unless it is really really cold I just put on a long jacket and go. Question is why? Well I was forced to wear ONLY skirts when I turned 13. I was a tom-boy and all of a sudden forced to wear the very clothes I detested. However I found out after I got used to them that I LOVED how the guys looked. No I wasn't purposefully flashing or anything but just they would look even when I knew I was completely covered. I fully admit it. I d the attention the skirt gave me. Yes there are dangers and stairs and wind are the two most common. The problem is you really can't decide to wear a mini today and NOT do stairs. I mean you have to at some point, either stairs or escalator and when you do the mini is just too short and you show. Does that make you a slut? Absolutely not... it is unfortunate because you might be someone that really doesn't want to show but you have to go up those stairs. I've been in that very situation many times knowing full well that I need to go upstairs (get to class or whatever) and at the base of the stairs stand 3 or 4 guys. What does a girl do? Well most of us just grin and bare it so to speak, knowing full well we lost the battle that day to not show anything and the guys won out with a good look. Does that make us a slut? No. Not at all. I think sluts are those girls that go beyond the current style and push the limits on shortness to the ridiculous stage. My minis are short but keep me covered fully under normal conditions. My g/f once checked and she said that I was covered until I got about 6-8 stairs up from her then my undies started to peak out. I think that is reasonable. I'm not on the stairs that long and most of the time I try to go up when no guys are waiting to look up me. The girls that are sluts are those that choose to wear butt showing skirts. Ya know the kind that show her butt when she is just standing dead still. Why wear a skirt at all? As far as the game and other girls looking, yes I admit it too. I will look if another girl is exposed. Not so much to make of her but more I find my self wondering how I would feel in her position. If it were me exposed. Or yes I do look and wonder if I show as much on the stairs as she is. Lets face it people, whether we are male or female, each of us had an ingrained attraction to other good looking people OF BOTH SEXES. No we are not gay. It is just an appreciation. As far as the game between guys and girls, I guess it sort of is there. The girl goes, lets see... can I go out today in this mini and thong and not embarrass myself. The guy is like. ok she is in a really short skirt... lets check out what she has on. As far as guys making it sexual, sure some do and some don't. Don't forget there are les girls that look up another girl for sexual reasons too. Jen

Well I agree to most of what you said. You did not truly go into the guy’s reason for looking but I think it is self-explanatory. Us guys seeing a girl’s thong or panties, that’s why we look. I will admit that yes when I see a girl walking around in a short skirt I can only hope that a gust of wind will come. But then again most people 16-25 think more with their sexual organs then their brain. We think this because the media has told us to. The most recent think I would like you to answer is. WHY DO GIRLS WEAR PANTS WITH A SKIRT! Ok now that I have said that my reason for getting so mad at this is because. The reason for wearing a skirt is to show off your body and get guys (or girls depending on how you swing) To look at you. If you wear pants under it you might as well walk around with nothing more then a piece of cloth over your pants that what is comes down to. In closing I will just say that skirts are sexy.

I agree with all you wrote. My question is why is it so bad to show anything and everything on yhour body. I never wear underwear and to wear short skirts when I go out. If I could go out nude I would because I was raised as a nudist and to be nude.
